2723 - - 72-43 Preparation and Countermeasures

<, who is believed to be the brain behind the control magic of the .

"After all, what can we do if it's a runaway?"

"......The only way to fix it is to fix it, and the only way to do that is ......."

Reinhardt's and Jin's lines are the sentiments of all family members.

"First, we have to go to the magic brain to fix it.

"That's the hard part. ......

"I don't know what to think, but it's going to be hard to get there."

Here came a rare question from Bertsche.

"Well, isn't it possible to repair it remotely with a good combination of <> and <>?"

"Hmmm, that would be nice."

To this Reinhardt replied.

"Both of them are easily prevented by type wards. If they are noticed, that's the end of it."

"I see. ......

<, then there is no problem, but in this case, the opponent is not just lower-ranked, but at least as good or better. We cannot underestimate them.

What about the option of leaving them alone?

"There is an option. But considering that it is out of control, and that it once came into contact with the golem that was after Reiko, I suspect that sooner or later it will come out into the outside world."

"Yes, Jin-dono's concerns are valid. ......I would say that a runaway magic brain tends not to hesitate to attack the outside world."

Is that so?

"Yes. That's the tricky part ......."

After a few words, <> Turles continued his explanation.

"Since <> is basically an internalized character, when he goes out of control and reverses himself, his violence will go outward."

"Ah, so that's how it is."

"I have heard that there were many such accidents in the early days of the development of the ...... magic brain."

This kind of information, which is not found in any literature or documents, is unique to Turles.

"So, we should do something about it while we can. ......?"

"Yes, we do. And only Jin-dono can do that.

"You look like you're in trouble again,......, Jin."

"Well,......

I'd like to live a little more leisurely, but the world won't leave me alone, Jin blurted out.

"Then give it all up and move to Hale. The only contact with Ars is on the island of Horai.

"......"

"Jin who can't do that is a person with a strong sense of responsibility."

"A sense of responsibility......<>?"

"It's not noblesse oblige, but those who have power have an obligation to use it properly."

"That's a difficult question."

Still, Jin has no intention of denying it.

He has power to maintain peace, and he can protect the world because he has power.

He does not claim to be a guardian. It is simply that the < that he wants to protect is a bit larger.

"So you think we should stop relying on the Jonar base now?"

But Turles shook his head at Jin's words.

"No. At the very least, the golem related to the could be a deterrent, so it would be better to cooperate with them."

"Oh, sure."

"If there's any reason left, that is. In that sense, we might as well hurry."

Yes, that's right. ......

Tomorrow, <1> and < will meet once more to discuss the matter.

Jin wondered if there was anything he could do to help.

So, the < had their usual brainstorming session.

"What about taking Marikka D with us?"

"That would be one way to go.

And Turles D. as well.

Yes, that's a good idea.

And Jin D.

Of course I'll come.

And Miss Laco.

Yes.

The group is almost unanimous in its decision to go.

"I suppose we'll have to meet and talk with Jonathan first."

"Yes, I think that would be a good idea.

"Then, when we go to the Oeste base, it would be better to go with , so we should call them back here from the Jonah base."

"Okay. Okay. I'll do that."

The preparations proceed according to everyone's opinions.

"I think that's about right."

Yes, I will. I'll ask you then.

Thus, preparations for the expedition were made, and Jin D., Marikka D., and Turles D. moved to 's place to have a meeting.

Welcome, Marikka!

<

"I have a proposal for you today.

.

Then, Marikka D. explained what she had discussed with the Jin family.

also acknowledged the danger.

> is normal, we must do something to get him to admit to repairing it.

"Yes, I do. I think that ...... Jin-sama can repair it, but will <> admit it?"

<> cited the fact that he, too, needed a demonstration before he would admit to Jin.

"So, would it be possible to somehow demonstrate to <> what Jin-sama is capable of?"

<>

"How about showing that you can make something or repair something in front of <>?

<

"Then, what do you think is the best way to increase the possibility?"

I think it would be appropriate to have <>, who is as close as possible to the magic brain of the position and specs, think about it.

<>.

"Processing......Ah, that would be a good way to show that the control core can be repaired."

< of the is also a , showing how it can be processed at will would be very convincing.

"Then, I will bring some Magi crystals with me.

"...... And after this, we will meet <> again, won't we?　Would you introduce us then?"

<

Jin and the others were to wait far enough away at first, and then approach when <> gave the go-ahead.

>

"We will fly there."

<>

Thus, preparations were made for the meeting with <>.
